We understand that his MAJESTY will, at the Council to be holden to-day at St. James's, prick the Sheriffs for the present year ; and that two proclama tions will issue—one with respect to. prizes captured in the late war, the other giving currency to a new four-penny piece of silver. We have received another communication from 44 Mentor" on the subject of Lord BROUGHAM'S• Law Reforms, from which we extract the following :- 44 His Lordship prepared anti secured an adoption of the Chancery Offices' Act, which abolished thirteen m ostly sinecures, thereby saving to the great offices, country upwards of 21,000/. per annum. It re duced the income of Masters in Chancery, thereby saving 14,0001. per annum ; besides other savings in the Master's Office, by reductions and aboli tions of various places, amounting to 41,000/. per annum. The vacancies which occur in tire Six Clerks' Office are, not to be filled up, until the number is reduced to two ; while Mdsters in Chancery, hence forth appointed by the Crown, are only entitled to an nuity for length of service." These reforms, highly efficient as they are, form but a small portion of his Lordship's legal improvements ; but we se l ec t th em , be cause they are brought forward in such an explicit and compendious form, as must render them intelligible to the homeliest capacity. But enough of this. Our object just now is not to discuss the merits of Lord BROUGHAM as a Law Reformer—for he is t oo we ll known and appreciated in this capacity to stand in need of our feeble testimony—but to express a hope that he will afford to the Ministry, during the present Session, the same powerful, disinterested support that Ire gave them during the past. A Morning Contem porary says, that not being suffic;cntly recovered from a recent trifling indisposition, he has "send is proxy to the Earl of Radnor." This is well. A better man could not have been selected ; but Lord Bnou . oHANf should also bear in mind, that it is his THE SUN, lA)NDON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 15:,46. cialists—will not lessen the amount of pr:vate wrong which individuals may be exposed to, from the 'esta blishment of Railways. We must adopt them—let us then adopt them while they are capable of enriching our country by trebling the demand for its manufac tures, and profitably employing its surplus labour.

LEE AND ANOTHER.—LIREL. Mr. CRESSWELL (with whom was Mr. Henderson) stated the case. It was an action brought by Mr. William Dryden, a gentleman who, for twenty years, had carried on business as an attorney, in the town of Kingston-upon-Hull, and upon whose character, until the time when this publication ap- Feared, not the slightest imputation rested. Ills character had been perfectly unimpeached and unimpeachable, until the publication now complained of appeared in a newspaper, called the Hull Rockingham, or Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Gazette. In the course of last year an election for Members of Parliament for the borough of Kingston-upon-Hull took place, and the plaintiff exercised his franchise as a voter in fa vour of the unsuccessful candidate, Mr. Mildmay. The elec • tion having run very close, the majority in favour of Colonel Thompson being only four or five, it was not unnatural that the parties beaten should be anxious to scrutinize the votes given on the other side ; and accordingly a petition was pre sented to Parliament, praying for an inquiry into the validity of that election. Soon after the presentation of that petition, the libel complained of was published, and it professed to give a list of the friends of Mr. Mildmay ; upon which list it was pretended that something ulterior would be founded, and it imputed to the plaintiff that he was guilty of receiving bribes, and of distributing bribes to others. He need hardly ask them if that were - a libel or not ? If it were base to ac cept a bribe for his vote—that was imputed to Mr. Dry den ; if it were base to bribe another to give his vote, and thus induce him to sell his franchise, then undoubtedly that baseness was imputed to Mr. Dryden. Moreover, the charge would subject the plaintiff to a prosecution, and could not be considered in any other light than as a libel. For the purpose of putting down their adversaries by numerous in stances of delinquency, and of bringing the whole party into disrepute, Colonel Thompson's friends published a list of ob jections to not less than 900 votes. There were 38 classes of objections. and numbers were prefixed to the names of the persons charged, referring to the objections brought against them. The list was headed " The Scrutiny-list of Votes objected to, with the objections to be made on behalf of Thomas P. Thompson." It then published the list, among which were " Dryden William, Bowl-alley-Lane, 24." On referring to No. 24, it appeared that he was charged with being employed as attorney, agent, poll-clerk, runner, or in any other capacity, and with having received money, and given it to procure votes. The plaintiff feeling that his character was aggrieved by that publication, in order to vindicate it and chal lenge the party to prove these allegations in a court of law, had brought the present action against the proprietor and publisher. He was influenced by no vindictive feeling—he was merely anxious to stand well with his neighbours, and the world ; be cause whatever political differences might exist between the plaintiff and his fellow-townsmen, he was anxious that his pri vate and professional character should be vindicated. Mr. Dryden had no wish to make the present action a source of profit to himself, or to put money into his pocket—all he asked was that the defendant should state publicly that he was satisfied the charge made against Mr. Dryden was groundless, and that he was sorry for having made it. If that be done Mr. Dryden would be content with nominal damages. [A pause.] After the lapse of six full months, and after hav ing been challenged to bring forward their proofs (if they had any)—after having deliberately admitted, on the record, by their plea of not guilty, that the charge was false, the printer and publisher, and for aught he (Mr. Cresswell) knew, some employer behind, persisted now in withholding that very mo derate satisfaction for the injury that had been inflicted upon him, which he publicly asked to-day. What motive could there be for such conduct? If there was any truth in the charge, why not manfully come forward and substantiate it. If false, why had not the defendant the decent modesty to express re gret for having been betrayed into that publication. Did the defendant mean, through his Counsel, to say that it was no libel to impute to a man that he received and gave bribes? There might be persons mean enough, who think themselves nothing the worse after such conduct, but Mr. Dryden was not such. He felt himself degraded by such a charge in the eyes of his fellow townsmen, and called upon the Jury to mark their sense of it by proper damages. Could it be said that be cause there was a petition to Parliament against the sitting Member, that would justify such a publication. If such a charge had been actually proved against the plaintiff, it might be some justification ; but there was merely a miserable pretence that such a charge was about to be made, and the publication of it, as the law stood, was undoubtedly illegal. If the charge was a bons fide one, why had it not been put in as ajustification upon the record. If any one of the Jury saw in a newspaper a statement that it was intended to prefer a Bill of Indictment against him at the Old Bailey, would he not consider it a libel, and such was the position in which the plaintiff was placed. It might be urged in palliation that the plaintiff had not ventured to bring his action in Yorkshire, where he was known, but had taken it up to London. The fact, how ever, was, that the plaintiff was anxious to have it tried as early as possible, but the new Municipal Bill intervened, and prevented his being able to bring it on last term, as he had intended. The fact also was that Mr. Dryden, living at Hull, was as little known to the Jury likely to try the case in the West Riding of Yorkshire as he was in London. Mr. Dryden asked for nothing but a full vindication of his cha racter, and as the defendant would not give it, he asked it at the hands of the Jury. The libel was the snore malignant, because, having published it 7 months ago, and not being able to substantiate it, the defendant now stood there to defend and repeat it, and on these grounds he was confident the thrzn . iii 4 t i er , : ;‘,.. .lie}, a,....siees as would fully vindicate Archibald Keightly, plaintiff's agent, believed the publica tion referred to the plaintiff. There is another action next on the list, " Jennings v. Lee," in which Mr. Dryden is also the attorney. Mr. - Dryden was an active agent at the Hull election on the Blue or Conservative side. The publication complained of was then put in and read. Mr. M. D. HILL (with whom was Mr. WrotermaN), ad dressed the Jury fur the defendant. He gave his Learned Friend great credit for the dramatic interest which he had given to his speech, by turning round and pausing for a re ply. He had almost " sawed the air," after the manner described by the great hero of history and the drama. That had been all previously arranged ; but he ( Mr. Hill) had sat quiet, knowing that his turn would come. He should shortly explain to the Jury why his Learned Friend had spoken, and why lie (Mr. Hill) had been silent, but before doing so, he would call their attention to what had been termed a libel, and what the plaintiff, with twenty years' standing in the county of York, had thought fit to bring for trial to London. An elec tion had taken place at Hull in June last, and notwithstand ing the merits of Mr. Mildmay, and the exertions of Mr. Dryden on his behalf, he was rejected. That was the real ground of offence, and might, perhaps, enlighten them as to the nature of the publication complained of, for not content with beating Mr. Mildmay, Colonel Thompson's friends attempted utterly to crush their opponents by publish ing a list of 659 voters (just as many as there were members of the House of Commons) who would be objected to. It was not a question between Mr. Dryden and the defendant as to character, but it was a question of if we have not victory, may we not have revenge. Mr. Mildmay was beaten at Hull ; a thing not easily borne, and requiring some philosophy, as lie ( Mr. Hill) knew by experience.—( A laugh.) It must be clear to the Jury before this, that the whole was an election squabble ; and it must be also evident, that the imputation upon the plaintiff's character was altogether imaginary. If there had been any real attack upon the plaintiff, should he not have gone among his neighbours at York, where he was well known ; and if he was really anxious to have the imagi nary staia wiped off as speedily as possible, why suffer seven of eight months to elapse ? why permit the registry of voters under the Municipal Bill, or any other business to interfere with the vindication of his character ? His Learned friend had dwelt very emphatically upon the circumstance that no apology was made ; but the very next paper after the publica tion complained of, the proprietor of the paper published an article disclaiming any wish to impute anything prejudicial to the plaintiff's character ; and that, if the plaintiff merely wished for the vindication of his character, should have been amply sufficient for him. The Learned Coun sel here read the article complained of, commenting on it as he went along. The whole was merely a list prepared to resist the petition of the other party, and gave a statement of the objections intended to be made to the friends of Mr. Mild may. Actions like the present merely protected the press in its licentiousness. They were all aware that there were news papers which trafficked upon the character of their neighbours and fellow citizens, and why, it might be asked, were not such papers borne down by the weight of actions and prosecutions ? Because so many actions of a description like the present were brought that it was a greater libel upon a man to- say that lie was a plaintiff in an action for libel than to publish the most disreputable matter of him. Actions for libel had been brought into disrepute because it was not the most honourable part of mankind who now came into Court. Could it be supposed that each of the 658 persons in that list could bring their ac tions against Mr. Lee, because objections to be urged before a Committee of the House of Commons had been affixed to their names ? Why had not Mr. Dryden, as any other respectable attorney would have done in similar circumstances, employed another attorney to conduct his case ? He had on that point laid himself open to a much graver charge than that in the newspaper, because it might naturally be inferred that he had brought the action not to vindicate his character, but to put the costs into his own pocket. In an ac tion like the present the Jury should recollect that on e farthing damages would carry the whole of the costs, and therefore Mr. Dryden had subjected himself to an imputation which he could not shake off, that it was for costs he came there, and not for character. He would almost characterize the present proceeding as an impudent pretence, for what his Learned Friend had asked for had been done long s i nc e. An apology had been made, and the Jury should re collect that the Hull newspaper had actually saved Mr. Dryden his long journey of 170 miles to London by publishing an apology for having inserted the article. The Learned Coun sel here read the article, apologizing for the publication of the list. The article appeared on the 18th July, and the expla nation on the 25th. He should now leave the case in their hands, trusting that they would be satisfied that no imputation whatever rested upon the character of the plaintiff; and that his client was entitled to their verdict, Thomas Dyson, clerk to the Committees of the House of Commons, proved that the list published in the defendant's newspaper was flied i n hi s O fil co . C4EBWPM, objected to its being received. Objection overruled, The list was then read. It was the original, from which the list published in the defendant's newspaper had been copied. The paper of the 25th July, containing the apology, was then put in and read. Mr. CRESWELL having replied at some length, Lord DENM4I4 summed up, and the Jury retired, but had not returned a verdi c t when we went to lareSS. sagacious',_........ s ubtle, comprehensive intellect, that is re quired in the House of Lords, far more than his vote. His mere vote did little or nothing last Session—his statesman-like astuteness every thing. Had it not been for him ; where would have been the Municipal Reform Biil ? He -,yas the very life and soul of the measure; and in a similar intrepid, high-minded spirit, wc trust he will supp‘ rt Ministers throughout the fiery ordeal which they are now about to undergo. No inan stands higher in the opinion of his countrymen than Lord BRouutt AM ; and from no man is more expected. Faction, it is true, has as sailed him ; party spite has poured forth its utmost venom on his head ; but he still stands foremost in the eyes of the people, their surest and ablest defender from the caprices and prejudices of all irresponsible House of Lords. The Reform Members are hastening up to town from all quarters.; and so, we understand, are the Con servatives. But what a difference between the two parties ! The former are hurrying forward to achieve a victory ; the latter to witness a defeat. Provided the i-Zfiirmers are true to themselves—true to the pledges they made on the hustings, and which they have re peated at the public dinners since given to them by their Constituents, there cannot be the slightest doubt of the triumph of their cause. They have a secured, though perhaps a small, majority ; but which, small as it is, is irresistible, inasmuch as it speaks the voice of the people. As for the Conservatives, they are a mere faction, nothing more. They may have wealth, but they have no moral influence. They may have talent, but they have no principle. Experience in Parliamentary tactics, but not the slightest acquaintance with the real feelings and interests of the community. The famous Tamworth Manifesto sets this beyond a doubt ; and right well do the people know, that, were LUC runes, by some under-hand manceuvring, wriggle themselves into place—which, by the bye, is scarcely within the range of possibility—they would persevere in the same juggling system so ingeniously developed in the " Voice" from Tamworth. It is from our full and perfect conviction that the Tories would so continue to act, that we have been, throughout the struggle between the two parties, so desirous to see them trampled on, and, if possible, extinguished. But this can only be accomplished by a cordial union among all classes of Reformers, which accordingly we have ever been among the foremost to insist upon. Fortunately our remonstrances have not been unavail ing, as will be proved beyond the possibility of denial, before the week is three days older. In all commercial pursuits, whatsoever, withou diminishing enterprise and curtailing speculation, abridges a waste of time, and saves an unprofitable expenditure of money, increases public wealth, and places the comforts of life more within the reach of all classes of society. A mercantile people should always bear in mind, that time, money, industry, and integrity go to form the body and soul of commerce ; and that the legitimate action of these several elements reproduce each other, and vice versa. If the proper use of any of them be neglected by the people of one country, the inhabitants of every other, with natural resources equally favourable, who extract from each all the advantages of which it is capable, will monopolize the trade of that country, and so impoverish its merchants, and beggar its artizans. In the application of all discoveries in the arts and sciences, which go to les sen the amount of human toil, and perfect the products of human industry, the wisest nations have always striven to take precedence of all others. Time, in such cases, was considered of the utmost importance ; and to the credit of England be it spoken, she has never been the last to adopt whatever promised to enhance her people. Now, one of the grateSt"discaeiiesoi modern times—a discovery which will produce a total revolution in the commercial world—is that of Rail ways. No time should be lost in adopting it by Eng. land, if she would retain her present position as a corn. . mercial nation. The project is not one of those schem which may be carried into effect at any convenie time with nearly an equal amount of advantage. known on the Continent—it is patronized by every commercial Government in Europe. In our foreign cor respondence of this day may be seen a paragraph stating that a Railway between Berlin and Potsdam is about to receive the sanction of the King of PRUS SIA ; and in France, Belgium, and Holland, such na tional undertakings are in a state of progress which promise an early completion. Now, were Railways to be successfully established in these countries, it would be in vain for England—without such modes of locomotion--to attempt to compete with them in a fo reign market, or even in her own. The Railway is to the Canal what the Spinning-Jenny was to the rock and-spindle—that most precious and storied legacy — now only to be sought for in old wood-cuts, which our wise and industrious female ancestry exercised for the enrobing of mankind. But the principle of Railways has already obtained the sanction of the Government, and the support of the first commercialists in the country. The opposi tion now made to it arises wholly from an apprehension of individual suffering. Fortunately even this opposi tion is not in any case insurmountable ; as the indivi duals who entertain fears on the subject of their per sonal interests, are too e nlightened not to perceive the absolute necessity of establishing such improved modes of locomotion, to maintain our position as a mercantile people. Among the projects for establishing new lines of Railroad for connecting the great leading towns of England with each other which have been recently submitted to us, we know of none more worthy of sup port than one for carrying such a line between Man chester and Leeds. It will .be seen by the Report— in another part of The Sun—of a public meeting which was held in Manchester on the subject, and which was attended by Mr. POTTER, M.P., Mr PHILIPS, M.P., and above two hundred of the most' influential men residing in that part of England, that the greatest unanimity of opinion prevailed as to the importance, and, in the present state of trade, the necessity of such au undertaking. Some of the speeches made upon this occasion were exceedingly luminous, and well worthy of the attention of those Members of Parliament who may be called upon to decide upon the practicability of such public works. The speech of Mr. SHARP on the principle of the proposed undertaking is particularly good ; and those of Messrs. CHEETHANI, GARNETT, and TAYLOR, detailing and specifying the advantages of the new line, fully adequate to the greatness of the occasion. Mr. GARNETT well observed that such a line of railway would, when completed, traverse the whole of Eng land, and connect, as it were, the German Ocean and the Irish Sea, by the link of a few hours—for here we must measure all distances by time only. This would give a new impulse, or rather a renewed vitality to the manufactures of Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Hull, and the whole of the country adjacent to these empo riums of commercial ) indus r t , . When the subject of this line of Railway is brought before Parliament, the measure shall have all the sup port that we can give to it. We consider the early esta blishment of such works as matters of the first impor tance lii national point of view. Delays--,-dangerous upon most oecase;:is , and here fatal to us as comma , . . riors with studied respect. He says— " Joseph Ficsclii is evidently the happiest, proudest, most contented being in the Hall of Peers—the centre of attrac tion, the observed of all observers. This repays him for Ifs his crime, and forms the supplement of the twenty francs worth of groceries, which seems to have been his only solid bribe or salary for the daring decd. He seams not to have a feeling but vanity ; for his affection for M. Lavocat, and others, was affected to excite interest, or make a show of some better feel ing. His consolation since his imprisonment has been fame, nay, immortal fame. In his letters to the President of the Court of Peers, and to the Crown Lawyers, there was no fa vour which he begged so hard as that of having hi s picture painted, and he entreated most earnestly to have his head pre served to posterity in a bocal, entrusted to M. Lavocat. In Court, he seeks to seem above falsehood, and charges his ac complices purely, he would have it, from a love of truth. But I think he was duped into betraying them by the courtesy paid him, and he seeks to give an honourable motive to what, in such a ruffian, was weaknes. " Boireau seems an insignificant young artisan-dandy, in a superb cross-barred silk waistcoat. " Pepin is a tall, thin, ungainly figure, with a long vulgar face, and black hair covering his forehead to the eyes. Ile sways back and forward, in giving evidence with a feeble voice and embarrassed manner. He looks what he was—an epi cier—and it must have been a very strange concatenation of circumstances which could have led him to the bar as a regicide. " The only prisoner who inspires pity, or has a look of re spectability, is Morey. He is an old, bent man, with grey hair, and a black, prominent eyebrow. " With the exception of Fieschi, there could scarcely be selected a more unpromising set of conspirators. Even he was but a good instrument. Without fanaticism, political or otherwise ; without misanthropy or hate towards man, either in the mass, or as individuals ; without avarice—for he re ceived nothing that could be called a bribe—the man under took, and well-nigh accomplished, a crime, that might have upset France and Europe, solely from motives of personal vanity." There are no accounts of any moment from the North of Spain. PARIS, Faa. I.—There is a ministerial combination in con templation ; this is a fact which is now beyond a doubt. Thiers is at the head of this new combination. The engagement of M. Thiers and the Doctrinaires to re main or go out together, now holds only in form. M. Guizot is labouring to form a party for himself, at the head of which he may be able, if he loses his place, to return to power by an opposition of the right centre. M. Thiers is aware of the manteuvre of his good friends, and has a right to complain of it. The old coalition seems to be decidedly broken—we may be allowed to believe that the crisis is, this time, serious, and will not end as that in November 1834 and that in February 1985. The Sentinelle des Pyrenies speaks of a new action said to have taken place at Salines on the 23d, between the Carlists and the Christinos. " The result," says the Sentinelle, "is not known, though we are assured that the Carlists retreated to Mondragon." The Algerine Legion was received with enthusiasm by the people on its entrance into Vittoria. It is confirmed that certain valleys of Navarre are endea vouring to shake off the yoke of Don Carlos, and that Colonel Iriarte seconds their endeavours to the utmost of his power. The Indicateur mentions the same indications of a move ment against Don Carlos. According to the Sentinelle, Eguia has been named Minister of War by Don Carlos, and Villareal will take the chief com mand of the Carlist army ; this does not agree with the asser tion of the Gazette de France, which pretends that old Count de Villemur, sent by Don Carlos to Catalonia, retains his title of Minister of War ; unless we suppose that Eguia is ap pointed ad interim. Admiral Mackau's squadron was still detained on the 28th by contrary winds.—Mcssager, Feb. 1. An express from Madrid, with advices to the 28th ult. has just been received in the City. The intelli gence it contains is most important. The assembled Cortes passed the new Electoral Law ; and M. MEN DIZABAL, in accordance with his promise at the opening of the Session, has dissolved the Chamber, cap.tal was in a state of great tranquillity. The inhabitants appeared to confide in the talents, energy, and amazing promptitude of M. MENDIZA BAL, who is every day increasing his popularity with all classes of citizens. CAMBRIDGE.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. C. Wordsworth and Mr. Isaacson were nominated this morning as candidates for the Public Oratorship by the Heads of Colleges. THE “NICCOLINI" JOB. (From a Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle.) A snug job has been got up within the last few days, in the neighbourhood of St. Paul's which calls loudly for an ex p-ession of public feeling, and reliance is placed on the patriotism of your journal to give vent to it ; because it seems as if there was a determination in certain quarters to counteract the efforts the Government so incessantly make for the retrenchment of abuses. Within a few hours after the news of Lord Stowell's death reached London, the valuable office of the Master ship of Faculties was conferred on one of the Junior Advo cates in the Civil Law Courts, an ex-member of Sir Robert Peel's Treasury Board, and the only son of the wealthy Sir Jo'an Nichol!. _ No family under the old regime in the West Indies can have monopolized patronage in any Court of Justice to the extent which one family has monopolized it in the Ec clesiastical Courts in England. The balance of the Nic colini account with the public stands thus : Judge of the Admiralty Court, Sir John Nicholl. Judge of the Prerogative Court, Sir Herbert Jenner, ne. phew to Sir John Nicholl. Dean of the Arches, Sir Harbert Jenner. Judge of the Peculiars, Sir Herbert Jenner. Vicar-General, Sir John Nicholl. King's Proctor, Mr. J. Nichol], nephew to Sir J. Nicholl. Registrar of the Prerogative Court, Mr. Dyneley, nephew to Sir John Nicholl. Registrar of the Peculiars, Mr. Dyke, great nephew to Sir John Nicholl. Master of the Faculties, Dr. Nicholl, only son of Sir John Nicholl. - - Surely Sit is time that these lucrative offices were placed under the control of the Executive Government.

Ecglish Irish Foreign It appears from an advertisement in another part of our paper, that a determined system of annoyance has been pursued for a long time towards a respectable tradesman, by some unprincipled vagabonds, who have hitherto escaped detection. The facility with which any person may be made the victim of anonymous persecution through the Post-office, renders it the in terest of all who have it in their power, to ass i st i n dragging the base and skulking offend ers t o li g h t , an d bringing them to condign punishment. MINA.—The Augsbur g ; Gazette gives letters from the frontiers of Italy and Turin, which throw doubts upon the fidelity of General Mina to the present Government of Spain, and intimates that he wishes to occupy the place now filled by the Queen Regent. A SHOWE R OF PICTURES.—During the storm on Saturday evening, a rather singular accident took place in English-street, in this city, which, we understand, has been attended with ver y considerable loss. A traveller from the firm of Ackerman and Co., had been doing business during the day in the town, and about eight o'clock had sent a man to the shop of Mr. Thurnam, bookseller, to brin g up the street a large oblong box in which was contained a great quantity of speeimens of fancy drawings and plates.

EXCHEQUER COURT-(THI OTWAY V. MORRIS. This was an action by an actor against the lessee of the Hay market Theatre. On its being called on no Counsel appeared for the plaintiff. He appeared in person, and said Mr. Thes siger had bren engaged for him only a few minutes before, and was expected instantly. in a few 1110MCIOS the plaintiff's at torney (Mr. Peach) appeared, and was about to withdraw the reeora, s when Mr. Otw•ay said—My Lord, I cannot consent to the case being withdrzlwn. I will rather plead it myself, for it is one of life or death to me. Lord ABINGER (after looking over his abstract of the plead ings)—l cannot see how you can go on. The declaration states the action to be upon an agreement for three appearances, for each of which 3/. was to be paid. The defendant has paid 9/. into Court. How, then, can you go on? A plaintiff cannot obtain more than he asks. Mr. Otway—My Lord, if )ou will only let the letter be read which preceded the agreement, you would the - :e see that my object was to have a certain number of appearances, which I would with pleasure have given gratuitously. It was the appearances which constituted the value of the engagement ; but I was deprived of them by the cruel, unjust, and tyrannical conduct of Mr. Morris. Let the case proceed, and I will show that the injury inflicted by the non-fulfilment of the agreement has been the annihilation of my theatrical prospects. I have had the honour of being in the army, and I have now none but them to look to. Lord ABINGER-But how is the jury to estimate the damages in such a case ? You can still have all the advantages you desire by appearing elsewhere. I think you had better leave the case in the hands of your Attorney. Mr. Otway—l am sure, my Lord, if there is justice in the land, I will have both your Lordship and the Jury witlL me if the case is beard. lam most anxious to have it gone on with. I would have pledged my body rather than have now been without Counsel. My Lord, there is Mr. Kemble in Court, and from his well-known character, you will know that he would not appear in any case which savoured of dishonour, and I pledge myself I have never had any private or indirect com munication with him. Mr. Thessiger here came into Court, and was addressed by Lord ABINGER.-Mr. Thessiger, you have to prove to the Jury that your client would have been approved of by the pub lic if he had been allowed to appear, and to make out damage from his not being afforded the opportunity of so doing. Mr. TIIESSIGER-My Lord, I have read the declaration, and I hardly know what I have to prove. Mr. Serjeant Talfourd held the brief, but he was obliged to go elsewhere to-day, and I have not had it more than ten minutes; but I am aware of the difficulties I shall have to encounter. Would your Lord ship allow the case to stand over for a short time, so that I may see and confer with my client. Lord ABINGER.-Certainly. Mr. TIIESSIGER returned in a few minutes and said—My Lord, may I ask that the case may stand over till to-mor row, so that— Lord ABINGER-This is nearly the last Common Jury cause. Perhaps you would have a special and whole day fixed for this exhibition. Sir William Follett, is there not another way in which this case might be settled, without involving the par ties in more expence. Sir W. FOLLETT-My Lord, though the Jury have been sworn, I have no objection that the plaintiff should withdraw his record. Lord ABINGER-I certainly meant something else than that. Mr. TIIESSIGER and Sir W. FOLLETT then conferred toge ther for a short time. Mr. TIIESSIGER then said—Gentlemen . , my Learned Friend and myself have agreed that no verdict should be taken in this case. We have agreed to consider one of you withdrawn, the effect of which is that each party pays his own costs. I now feel it due to Mr. Morris to state that I am, and that the plain tiff is, now convinced that that gentleman was actuated by no vindictive or malious motives. The plaintiff, Mr. Otway, was labouring under very considerable excitement when the action was commenced, but he is now satisfied. Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT-Gentlemen, as the case has not been stated to you, I may state that Mr. Morris is the proprie tor of the Haymarket Theatre, and the plaintiff is a gentleman who appeared there in the character of Hamlet, but failed. Lord ABINOER-From illness, Sir William. Sir W. FOLLETT-Certainly, from illness. I may now say, that Mr. Morris does and did not mean to throw the slightest imputation upon either the character or abilities of Mr. Otway. The cause was so settled ; and the Court, which was crowded with performers, was almost immediately cleared. There being no other cause to go on with, the Court was adjourned till Friday. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. THIS DAY. OLD COURT. FORGERIES UPON THE AUSTRIAN AND POLISIIBANKS. This morning a; soon as their Lordships had taken their places on the bench, Mr. Justice WILLIAMS directed that Robert Balls, Thomas Harris, and Mordecai Moses, alias Warchaur, be put to the bar. It will be remembered that the above named persons were tried at the last December Sessions for having in their possession, and counterfeiting cer tain plates having upon them the impress of the notes of the Austrian and Polish Banks, with intent to defraud these re spective Governments. At the trial, Counsel on behalf of the prisoners made several objections to the indictment, and in consequence judgment was deferred,. in order e the e Fi s ints raised.' J ontire oufsttLe, judges as , t i o a validity of and, delivered the opinion of their Lordships to the effect, that the indict ment was good in law, and the objections could not be sus tained. His Lordship went at some length into the reasons which influenced the judges in their decision, and when he had concluded, the prisoners were removed from the bar. John Burton and Charles Deller were indicted for stealing a lamb, the property of William Baker.—Guilty. NEW COURT. James Collins was indicted for receiving a quantity of lea. ther, value 301., the property of Thomas Newenwell, know ing it to be stolen. It appeared in evidence that tke prosecutor's warehouses had been broken open on the night of the 3d of January, and about a hundred pound's worth of leather stolen therefrom. Shortly after the prisoner offered a large quantity for sale to a Mr. Page, at a price below half its value ; who, having heard of to robbery, gave information to Mr. Newenwell, and the prisoner was taken into custody. Collins told soveral stories as to the manner in which ha became possessed of the property, and said he bought it from a man who was a perfract stranger to him. He was found guilty. The COMMON-SERGEANT said his rule was to transport all receivers for a term of 14 years, as such offenders invariably encouraged the thieves. Richard Balls was indicted for having embezzled several sums of money, the property of Messrs. Coding, his employers. It appeared in evidence that the traverser was a collecting clerk in the employment of the prosecutors, who are brewers, and that in that capacity he had received several sums of money in October, November, and December last, from the customers of the firm, for which he bad not accounted up to this time. The prisoner in his defence stated that he had been induced to keep the money in his hands unaccounted for in Consequence of a temporary embarrassment, without any inten tention of defrauding the Messrs. Coding. He called several witnesses to character, but the testimony against him was so conclusive that the jury returned a verdict of Guilty, accompa nied by a recommendation to mercy, in which the prosecutors joined. MELANCHOLY AND SUDDEN ILLNESS OF C',L. MERCER OF THE FUSILIER GuAans.—About lialf-past eleven o'clock yesterday morning a gentleman, who proved to be the above gallant officer, while looking into the win dow of a china shop, in Holborn, within a few doors of Gray's Inn-lane, Was observed to turn suddenly round and fall backwards at full length upon the ground with great force. Mr. Teuten, printer, of Drury-lane, who was pass ing at the moment, instantly ran to his assistance, and with the aid of two other persons, raised the unfortunate gen tleman, who appeared to be quite dead and stiff, his eves anti mouth being wide open, and both arms extended ; but on Mr. Teuten opening his hands he sank upon his knees, when a frightful contusion was discovered at the hack of his head, from which the blood was flowing profusely. He was immediately conveyed to the shop of Mr. Pollock, sur geon, in Gray's Inn-lane, who instantly applied restora tives, but without effect. Believing the gallant officer to be dying, Mr. Pollock sent for a policeman, and in a short time police constable, F 108, arrived, who, in searching his pockets, found a card on which the Colonel's name and address were engraved. While doing s o th e c h a i r on w hich the Colonel had been placed was tilted, and shortly after wards the man who held it having accidentally let go his hold, the sudden jerk brought him to his senses, on which he exclai ned, " What's the matter ?" but afterwards re lapsed into insensibility. He was then removed up stairs by Mr. Pollock and the policeman, who, in about two hours afterwards, conveyed him in a hackney-coach to his resi dence, No. 53, Queen Anne-street, Cavendish-square, in a very dangerous state. The ship Canton, from London, with female emi grants, arrived safely at Sydney early in September last, after a quick passage. The mischief done by the tempestuous gale of Sa turday se'nnight throughout various parts of the country was very great. Th e pediment which surmounted th e west front of the mansion at Duncombe Park was blown down, and fell on the roof of the house, and through the ceiling into the great hall, having done considerable damage to the building. Providentially no person was hurt, though some members of the family had a narrrow escape.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK Hobart Town Papers to the 3d of October have been re ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house. The following are extracts : ~ Although the weather has been most favourable to the prospects of the farmer around Hobart Town, all along the country under the western tier, and on the northern side of theisland, there are many parts—as at Pittwater and others-- which have as yet bad but a very partial supply of rain. 01 1 the whole, however, the season, though perhaps two or three weeks later than usual, is highly propitious.
